Operating Instructions for the training computer with
digital display
1. Start Without Previous Knowledge
You can start your training without requiring any previous kno-
wledge. The necessary information will be displayed in your
display. For effective training and for setting your personal training
defaults, please read and follow these operating instructions.
Read also the general tips in the training instructions.
After switching on the unit (mains connection or starting via
RESET, the complete display information will appear = segment
test with an audible signal. Afterwards, the time is shown
briefly. Time can be adjusted via the UP and DOWN keys: First,
set hours UP / DOWN, then confirm via MODE , then set minutes,
and confirm time setting again via MODE Afterwards the user
display (U 1-4) U = USER will appear.
Data for up to 4 different users can be stored which can be
retrieved upon restart. The individual training can be continued
by 4 different people with their personal data being stored over
a longer period of time.
You can select your user memory via the UP or DOWN keys
and confirm your choice via the MODE key.
2. Function Keys
START / STOP
Via this key, you start your training without any pre-setting, or
after entering certain default values and/or selection of one of
the automatic training programs. Pressing this key again causes
the computer to stop the counting function. Settings can be
changed without interrupting your training. If START is pressed
again, the computer starts counting again after the new setting
has been fixed.
MODE
In order to display information or to input your personal settings,
choose between the functions [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES and
PULSE] by briefly pressing the MODE key.
DOWN / UP
– the default values are set via the DOWN or UP keys. To this
end, the unit must be in a STOP position; > top left symbol
will blink.
– During your training, you can reduce or increase the overall
performance range via these keys > graphic display.
P
– In the pre-selection, the desired user setting (USER) can be
selected via DOWN or UP .
– The training program selection (MANUAL, PROGRAM,
USER or TARGET H.R.) is also carried out via the DOWN
or UP keys.
DOWN downward setting of default values.
By briefly pressing the DOWN key, you reduce the setting
values of the various functions > [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES
and PULSE]. If you press the DOWN key for a longer period
of time, the setting value can be reached in a faster counting
sequence.
UP upward setting of default values.
By briefly pressing the UP key, you increase the setting values
of the various functions > [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES and
PULSE]. If you press the UP key for a longer period of time, the
setting value can be reached in a faster counting sequence.
RESET
By briefly pressing the RESET key, you reach the selection of the
different training program settings > top bar in the display
[MANUAL, PROGRAM, USER, TARGET H.R.]
Keeping the RESET key pressed causes the computer to restart:
time setting and user selection (U1-4)
RECOVERY
With the RECOVERY key, you reach a recovery pulse measu-
rement at the end of the exercise session.
3. Display Information
General: the display is divided into three fields:
1. In the top line, the status or selection of the training program
and the status symbol for age are displayed.
2. The large display area represents the graphic display of the
performance range (route profile) and serves for simple ori-
entation within the training sequence. One bar segment =
low performance; eight bar segments on top of each other
= maximum performance. The braking levels are shown next
to the bar display, on the left as odd numbers (1, 3,...,15)
and on the right as even numbers (2, 4, ..,16).
3. In the bottom display area, several segment displays can be
found next to each other where the different training func-
tions are shown. If these functions are pre-set, the respective
function description will blink > e.g. TIME.
After finishing your training, the training data is stored and can
be retrieved when starting a new training sequence. The new
data is then added.

Training program (top display line)
The different training programs are chosen by pressing the
RESET key and then selected via the UP or DOWN keys. After-
wards, the selection must be confirmed via MODE . The diffe-
rences in the programs are defined as follows:
MANUAL Manual training
This setting is selected for a simple training sequence.
The route profile remains linear and can be increased or reduced
during your training via the UP or DOWN keys.
PROGRAM Pre-set programs for training
Here, 6 factory pre-set training programs are available. By
means of the route profile you can see the difficulty level of each
setting.
USER training program via user setting (User)
This program selection allows to you set your individual route
profile. At least one default value must be selected > [TIME,
DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE].
TARGET H.R. Training by means of target heart rate (THR)
In this program, setting the performance is controlled by the pre-
set heart rate. To this end, your pulse must be registered during
your training.
See > 6. Possibilities for pulse measurement
Default values (bottom display line)
The bottom display line includes individual segment displays with
various default values and units.
RPM / SPEED (left)
Speed
This alternating display (display interval of 6
seconds presents the step frequency as RPM
(Round per minute = revolution per minute)
and the speed as SPEED in km/h. Display range: min. 0.0 to
max. 99.9 km/h
TIME (2nd on the left)
Training period
In this display, the training period is mea-
sured in minutes and seconds. Display
range: min. 00:00 to max. 99:00
DISTANCE (centre)
Training distance
The covered distance is measured in km. The
counting of the distance starts with >0< and
can be continued up to a maximum of
99.99 km. Gradation for counting is
effected in intervals of 0.01 km = 10 m.
CALORIES (2nd on the right)
Calorie and energy consumption
This display shows the calculated calorie
consumption. The value is established
during the training by means of the resistance and time mea-
surements. Display range: min. 0 to max. 990
The data only serves as a rough guideline when comparing the
different exercises and cannot be used for medical purposes.
PULSE (right)
Pulse / heart rate
If the pulse is measured during training, the
heart symbol in this segment display will blink
and the pulse rate displayed as heartbeats per
minute. Display range: min. 30 to max. 240.
If the target pulse rate is reached during your training, the com-
puter will send an alarm signal.
Sleep Mode (empty)
If no RPM or PULSE is registered or if no manual settings are
made within 4 minutes, the unit will switch to sleep mode.
4. Personal Training Defaults
General
– Without any special pre-settings, the values in the individual
defaults [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES and PULSE] count
upwards, starting from >0< .
– For effective training it is sufficient to only set one target value
in one of the defaults [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES or
PULSE].
– If a personal target value is set as a training default, the com-
puter will count downwards from this value. When rea-
ching the target value >0<, an audible signal will sound. If
the training is continued after this -without setting a new target
value - the computer will again count downwards from the
pre-set value in this mode on the pressing of the START key.
– Once set, target values cannot be changed during your
training. They can only be changed if you press the STOP
key first.
Target default value
Setting a target value is identical for all defaults:
e.g. DISTANCE
1. Press the MODE key until the designation >DISTANCE< is
blinking in the display segment.
2. By pressing the UP key briefly, you increase the value, e.g.
DISTANCE in 0.1 km intervals. If you keep the UP key
pressed, the setting value is counted more quickly.
3. If you want to reduce the target value again, press the
DOWN key briefly (or long . The value is again counted
downwards.
4. If you have set the target value, press the MODE key. The
value is then stored in this function and you reach the next
function, e.g. CALORIES.
5. If possible, enter only one default value, as otherwise the
training targets will overlap. For example, you might reach
the pre-set target time earlier than the pre-set target distance.
6. The other defaults [TIME, CALORIES or PULSE] are also
entered as described in items 1-4 via the keys SET, RESET
and MODE.

After having finished setting your defaults, you can start your
training. During the training, all current values are displayed in
parallel next to each other. The pre-set value is counted down-
wards until >0< is reached.
5. Training
After switching on the unit (see chapter 1) and selecting the user
(U 1–4), the program line in the top display area will blink.
You may also reach the program line in the top display area
by pressing the RESET key briefly without restarting the computer.
– Select the training program (MANUAL, PROGRAM, USER or
TARGET H.R.) via the UP or DOWN key and confirm your
selection via MODE.
– If the training mode you select is MANUAL, PROGRAM or
USER and you pre-set a target value for your heart rate, the
computer will activate an optical and acoustic alarm as
soon as the current heart rate value reaches the target value.
Training > MANUAL
The route profile is represented evenly as a line. All default set-
tings can be made individually [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES
or PULSE].
Training start pressing the START key and active training.
Via the UP and DOWN keys, the entire route profile can be
increased or reduced either prior to the start of or during the
training.
By means of the set training period (TIME , the computer counts
the training progress in the route profile (bar graph) from left to
right with a blinking bar. If the pre-set value [TIME, DISTANCE,
CALORIES or PULSE] is reached, an acoustic signal will sound
for 8 seconds. The training data is not counted further. You have
reached your training target! By pressing the START key, it is
also possible to continue your training.

number (P1-6) for about 1 second and then the route profile in
blinking form. Via the MODE key you confirm your selection,
or select another program via UP and/or DOWN.
If you have selected your program, you can additionally enter
a default value [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE].
Training start by pressing the START key and active training.
Via the UP and DOWN keys, the entire route profile can be
increased or reduced either prior to the start or during the
training.
By means of the set training period (TIME , the computer counts
the training progress in the route profile (bar graph) from left to
right with a blinking bar. If the pre-set value [TIME, DISTANCE,
CALORIES or PULSE] is reached, an acoustic signal will sound
for 8 seconds. The training data is not counted further. You have
reached your training target! By pressing the START key, it is
also possible to continue your training.
Training > USER
Training program via user setting (User)
In the training mode USER you can design your individual route
profile.
The setting is made via the keys UP or DOWN in order to adjust
the profile height. You reach the next bar via the MODE key;
then UP or DOWN again for height, etc. Program all 16 bars.
Training start by pressing the START key and active training.

If you have designed your individual route profile, you can
additionally set the default values. To this end, press the START
STOP key. All default values can be set individually [TIME,
DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE]. At least one default value must
be selected. After completing the setting of the default values,
you can start your training by pressing the START key and start
your active training.
The entire route profile can be increased or reduced via the UP
and DOWN keys either prior to the start of or during the
training.
By means of the set training period (TIME), the computer counts
the training progress in the route profile (bar graph) from left to
right with a blinking bar. If the pre-set value [TIME, DISTANCE,
CALORIES or PULSE] is reached, an acoustic signal will sound
for 8 seconds. The training data is not counted further. You have
reached your training target! By pressing the START key, it is
also possible to continue your training.
Training > TARGET H.R.
Training via target heart rate (THR)
In this training mode, the route profile is automatically adjusted
to the setting values (age and THR) as well as the measured heart
rate.
If you have selected the training mode TARGET H.R. via the keys
RESET, UP / DOWN and MODE , a number appears in the large
display. This number and the designation AGE will be blinking.
Enter your age using the keys UP or DOWN and confirm it via
MODE. Finally, the value 55% will appear in the large display.
You can either select 55, 75 or 90% and/or enter your individual
setting of the target heart rate.
The percentage defaults 55%, 75% and 90% refer to the
maximum pulse rate (220 - age) and pre-determine 3 general
training intensities for the fitness training.
– 55% of the max. heart rate (220 - age) corresponds to the
starting phase of the general fat burning trainings. This
default can then also be increased manually to 65%.
– 75% of the max. heart rate (220 - age) corresponds to the
phase for a general fitness training.
– 90% of the max. heart rate (220 - age) is only suited for shorter
sub-maximum exertion intervals for performance increase in
interval training.
After selecting your THR value, confirm it via MODE. You then
reach the default setting.
In this training mode it is not possible to set a PULSE value. All
other default values can be set freely. [TIME, DISTANCE or
CALORIES]
Training start by pressing the START key and active training.
– The computer compares your currently measured heart rate
with the pre-set target value and accordingly adapts the
braking level during your training.
– If the current heart rate is lower than the target value, the
braking level will be increased by one step every 30 seconds,
until the maximum value of the resistance or the set heart rate
is reached.
– If the current heart rate is above the target value, the braking
level is automatically reduced. It will be reduced by one step
every 15 seconds until the set heart rate is reached.
– If the braking level has been reduced to 1, but the value for
the heart rate still exceeds the target value for 1 minute, the
computer will stop and an acoustic alarm signal will sound
as a warning.
– Over the set training period [TIME] the computer counts the
training progress in the route profile (bar graph) from left to
right with a blinking bar.
– If the pre-set value [TIME, DISTANCE or CALORIES] is
reached, an acoustic signal will sound for 8 seconds. The
training data is not counted further. You have reached your
training target! By pressing the START key, it is also possible
to continue your training.

RECOVERY
Recovery pulse phase
The RECOVERY function can be selected after any training
program.
With the RECOVERY key, you reach a recovery pulse measu-
rement at the end of the exercise session. From the beginning
and ending pulse of one minute, the deviation and the fitness
grade is determined. With the same exercise session, the impro-
vement of this grade is a measurement of the increased fitness.
If you have reached the target value, end the exercise session,
press the RECOVERY KEY and then lay your hands on the hand
pulse sensors. With a previous pulse measurement in the display
00:60 appears for the time and in the PULSE display the current
pulse value blinks. The time begins to count from 00:60 back-
wards. Keep your hands on the hand pulse sensors until >0< is
reached. Right in the display a value between F1 and F6 is shown.
F1 is the best and F6 the worse status. By pressing RECOVERY
again, the function is ended.
6. Possibilities for Pulse Measurement
The pulse measurement starts as soon as the heart in the display
blinks in time with your pulse beat.
With ear clip
The pulse sensor works with infrared light and measures the varia-
tions in translucence in your skin, which are produced by your
pulse beat. Rub your ear ten times strongly to activate the blood
circulation before attaching the pulse sensor to your earlobe.
Avoid disturbing pulses.
• Attach the ear clip properly to your earlobe and look for the
best point for the measurement (heart symbol blinks without
interruption).
• Do not train directly under strong incidence of light, e.g. neon
light, halogen light, spotlight, sun light.
• Completely eliminate any shocks or bounces of the ear sensor
and the cable. Always attach the cable with a clip at your clo-
thing or, even better, at your headband.
With breast clip
The internal pulse receiver is compatible to un-coded POLAR chest
strap transmitters. For coded systems, wrong pulse values may
be displayed. We recommend T34 by POLAR
Please observe the corresponding instructions.
With hand pulse
An extra-low voltage caused by the contractions of your heart is
registered by the hand sensors and evaluated by the electronics
assembly of the device.
• Always grab the contact faces with both hands.
• Avoid jerky grasping.
• Hold your hands calmly and avoid contractions and rubbing
on the contact faces.
Comment:
Only one way of pulse measurement is possible: either with ear
clip or with hand pulse or with breast belt. If no ear clip or plug
recipient is located in the pulse plug, hand pulse measurement is
activated. If you insert an ear clip or a plug recipient in the pulse
plug, hand pulse measurement is automatically deactivated. It is
not necessary to disconnect the plug of the hand pulse measu-
rement.
7. Notes
– If no signal is transmitted to the computer for 4 minutes, the
LCD will shut off automatically and all existing training data
will be stored. You can then press any button to reactivate
the computer.
– If the computer is not displaying correctly, disconnect and
then reconnect the power supply.

8. Training Instructions
For Your Safety:
■ Before beginning your program of exercise, consult your
doctor to ensure that you are fit enough to use the equipment.
Base your program of exercise on the advice given by your
doctor. Incorrect or excessive exercise may damage your
health.
This device has particularly been designed and developed for
leisure time sportsmen. It is excellently suited for cardiovascular
training.
The training methodically has to be organised on the principles
of stamina training. This will predominantly cause changes and
adaptations of the cardiovascular system. This includes the
reduction of the resting pulse frequency and of the load pulse.
This gives the heart more time for filling the ventricles and for
the blood circulation of the cardiac musculature (through the
coronary vessels . Moreover, depth of breathing and the volume
of air that can be breathed in (vital capacity) are increased. Further
positive changes take place in the metabolic system. In order
to achieve these positive changes, the training has to be planned
according to certain guidelines.
Planning and control of your training
The basis for your training planning is your current physical fitness
condition. Your family doctor can diagnose your personal fitness
by means of an exercise tolerance test, which will constitute the
basis for your training planning. If you have not undergone an
exercise tolerance test, high training exertion and/or over-
straining must be avoided in all cases. The following rule should
be considered in your planning: stamina training is controlled
via the scope of exertion as well as via the level / intensity of
exertion.
Regarding exertion intensity
The intensity of exertion should preferably be checked in your
fitness training via your heart’s pulse rate. The maximum heart
rate per minute of > 220 minus age must not be exceeded. The
optimum training pulse is determined by age and training target.
Training target: fat burning/weight reduction
The optimum pulse frequency is calculated using the empirical
formula (220 – age) x 0.65.
Advice: fat burning for energy supply only gains significance
after a minimum training period of 30 minutes.
Training target cardio-vascular fitness:
The optimum pulse frequency is calculated using the empirical
formula (220 – age) x 0.75.
The intensity is predetermined in your training by means of the
braking levels, ranging from 1-16. As a beginner, you should
avoid too high braking level settings for your training, as this
will quickly lead to exceeding the recommended pulse rate
range. Start by using a low braking level setting and then
approach your optimum training pulse step by step. Do not forget
to regularly check during your fitness training whether you still
range within the intensity area according to the above stated
recommendations.
Sports physicians consider the following load factors to be
positive for fitness:
Beginners should not start with training units of 30 to 60
minutes.
A beginner training could be organised as follows during the
first four weeks:
In order to have a personal training documentation, you can
enter the training values achieved in the performance table.
Prior to and after every training unit gymnastic exercises lasting
approx. 5 minutes serve the warming up and/or cooling down.
There should be a day without training between two training
units, if you later on prefer to train three times a week for 20
- 30 minutes each. Otherwise nothing can be said against a
daily training.
